Bar for snap up brackets
I lost the bar I use to pull up the chains to hook on the snap up brackets. Does anyone know where I can find a good bar/metal tube that has a curved end? Thanks for any and all replies.

While hitch is suspended over the ball by several inches hook up the chains then lower trailer onto the hitch ball .After a pretty short time you will find that the one inch bar is unnecessary . For unhitching raise trailer the same number of inches and the bars are loose . It ain't rocket science .
:h :h :h
For the life of me I can't see the above working at all.
You have to lower the coupler onto the ball, latch it closed, then raise the trailer and rear of the truck together. When raised high enough you can easily hook the chains on and close the snap-up brackets. Then you lower the tongue which puts tension on the chains.
This is one of the main reasons why we like power tongue jacks! :B
